City Repair

Link: http://www.cityrepair.org/

Be sure to visit the link to intersection repair. "City Repair was formed in Portland, Oregon in 1996 by citizen activists who wanted a more community-oriented and ecologically sustainable society. Born out of a successful grassroots neighborhood initiative that converted a residential street intersection into a neighborhood public square, City Repair began its work with the idea that localization (of culture, of economy, of decision-making) is a necessary foundation of sustainability. By reclaiming urban spaces to create community-oriented places, we plant the seeds for greater neighborhood communication, empower our communities and nurture our local culture" This was reported on in http://www.americancity.org/ and http://www.talkingbirdspress.com/earthus.html (in newsletter 21).
